Scottsdale Office Project Nearly at Lease-Up

SCOTTSDALE-The Gainey Center II, a 140,000-sf, class-A office development at the southeast corner of Scottsdale Road and Gainey Suites Drive, has reached 70% capacity with several new leases.

eFunds Corp., a leaded electronic payment and services provider, has leased 47,000 sf in the new building. eFunds will use the building as its corporate headquarters, relocating from another Scottsdale location.

Physician’s Choice of Arizona Inc. is taking 11,000 sf while Commerce Realty Advisors and Protitlement LLC, a land entitlement services company, has signed for 7,360 sf and Mohr Partners, 2,000 sf.

Physician’s Choice, which markets skin-care products and provides skin-care service, plans to beef up its staff by 20% with the added space. Mohr Partners, a national corporate real estate advisory and consulting firm, will use its space to accommodate growth of its Phoenix operations. The company plans to move in by September.

Opus started work on the second phase of the office project a year ahead of schedule after its first phase leased up quicker than expected, says Thomas W. Roberts, Opus West president. The companies in the first phase include Well Fargo, Kutak Rock, SalesLogix, Realty Executives and Dean Witter.

Gainey Center I and II are located in the Gainey Village, a 55-acre mixed-use development that includes a number of lavish amenities, including the Gainey Village Health Club and Spa, Gainey Suites Inn and the Shops at Gainey Village, a 135,000-sf retail project developed by Westcor.
